Probably get more for that than you would for a Telsa.
2.4 EcoTec. Tell me it’s American without telling me it’s American.
I mean they used the ecotec engines in plenty of Opel, Saab, Vauxhall and Holden models too. Those are all non US market cars. Except maybe Saab which might have been sold in the US in addition to Europe.
Yeah my point was more the engine size. The EcoTec in my 2001 Corsa was half its size. A 2.4 litre engine would be a high performance vehicle in Europe.
They put the 2.2 ecotec in several Opel models and the 2.4 in a select few I believe.
A sluggish 2.4 engine isn’t a performance engine. If anything, it’s ideal for fuel economy in those bigger cars because you’re not tempted to rev it that much. It’s got some more low end torque, but it’s not fun to redline.
The best highway fuel economy I’ve gotten out of a gasoline engine was a 3.5 V6. You never needed to rev it over 2000 in regular usage and honestly 3000 rpm was plenty for overtaking. It had plenty of top end power too but you never needed it, so the pedal only got full usage when overtaking someone in a 3.0 diesel Audi or BMW and they couldn’t handle an old Chrysler passing them, but my young reckless ass also wasn’t going to back off obviously.
